You've been dying to go off about that, haven't you?
: "I pushed to shoot in Philadelphia over Toronto because it's in America, I liked the locations here, and because it's a great production center," said Smith, the Rabelais of Red Bank, N.J., by phone.
:I can't believe you have decided to shoot your movie in Philly instead of Toronto for purely patriotic arguments.
"it's a great production center," is hardly a patriotic argument. It's a simple fact.
: Its funny that Canada (ie Vancouver Film School) was as good or better than the US to go study how to make your movies but it isnt good enough to shoot them.
Kevin dropped out of that school like a couple months into it. Obviously he felt vancouver film school had nothing for him so your argument is invalid.
:I realy think that since september 11, everybody in the US is going nuts with patriotism. It is also funny that you ask everybody in the US to buy american but are the first to propose Free-Trade.
You obviously don't live here, people were nuts before 9-11, but I do understand that there was a boom in patriotism after 9-11, but the same would happen in Canada if the terrorists bombed the Maple Leafs.
: PLEASE KEVIN, DEPOLITICISE YOURSELF! YOUR ARE NOT THERE TO DO POLITIC BUT TO ENTERTAIN PEOPLE! BY THE WAY, CAN YOU SAY THAT TO GOV. SWARTZY ALSO?
: Another person gettin tired of the POST 9/11 ATTITUDE!
Is "depoliticise" even a word? Kevins statement you posted was hardly political, it was a simple answer to a question. Do you support your country? Based on this post, it kind of sounds like you're anti-america, and thats the general attitude in the world right now. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to leave the country, plus he said "I liked the locations here, and because it's a great production center." save your rants for when they really apply, this time it didn't.
